COMMAND
Site Server
SYSTEMS AFFECTED
- Microsoft Site Server 3.0
- Microsoft Site Server 3.0 Commerce Edition
- Microsoft Commercial Internet System 2.0 and 2.5
PROBLEM
Site Server 3.0 (which MCIS is based on) offers a method of
authentication using Cookies. However, when SS sends a new cookie
to a client, it does not flag the page the cookies is set on with
an expiration header. If that page is cached, and multiple users
are using the same cache, its possible that one user may get the
authentication cookie of another user.
